In my feeble attempts to prepare for Baby London's arrival in February, I have been trying to slowly stock my freezer full of meals that we can easily enjoy once she is here. I am not going to lie.....I have never done this for any of my other babies....call me lazy. But with this precious surprise coming in 9 or so weeks, I am trying my best not to freak out. And me not freaking out involves planning ahead. Ok...back to the freezer meals. Here are a few recipes that I've either already made or am planning on making.
White Chicken Chili
(I made this today and doubled the recipe so we can enjoy lots this week...and lots in February)
1 medium onion
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 clove garlic minced (I always add more.....loooove me some garlic!)
2 large chicken breasts
1 can white beans
1 can white corn (regular corn works just fine)
1 can white hominy
2 cubes chicken bouillon
1 can diced green chiles
1 1/2 c. hot water
Put everything in the crock put and cook on low for 8 hours. We serve it with white cheese, sour cream, and tortilla chips.
Mamma Suzi's Ham Rolls
(One of my favorite meals for parties.)
2 packages of rolls (we use the hawaiian sweet rolls)
1/2 - 1 lb sliced ham
4-8 oz swiss cheese (grated or sliced works fine)
2 sticks butter softened but not melted
3 Tbs poppy seeds
1/2-1 onion finely grated or chopped
2 Tbs worcestershire sauce (I'm not gonna lie I had to go get it out of the fridge just to spell it)
3 Tbs mustard
Cut the rolls in half while leaving them attached to each other. Mix the butter, poppy seeds, mustard, onion, and worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Spread the mix over both halves of the rolls. Put a layer of ham and then cheese on the bottom halves of the rolls. Put the top back on the rolls and wrap up in aluminum foil. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted. If they are frozen bake for about an hour or more.
